Have read several reports of plastic reacting with topcoats. Believe
Jeff Jewitt calls it "plasticizing". Search
www.homesteadfinishing.com for that word or plastic.

Could've been vinyl, or even some kind of rayon. I imagine the OP
would have to check the materials for possible reactions based on what
the particular product in his area is made from.

I saw some "table runners" at the store yesterday that had some sort
of plastic-type coating on the underside.
